Write the quadratic equation whose roots are -2 and 1, and whose leading coefficient is 4 .

Mathematics
1 answer:
Kaylis [27]3 years ago
7 0

Answer: the equation is

4x^2 + 4x - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

A quadratic equation is an equation in which the highest power of the unknown is 2.

The general form of a quadratic equation is expressed as

ax^2 + bx + c

Where

a is the leading coefficient

c is a constant

Assuming we want to write the quadratic equation in x, from the information given, the roots which are given are -2 and 1 and the leading coefficient is 4.

Therefore, the linear factors of the quadratic equation will be (x+2) and (x-1)

the equation becomes

(x+2)(x-1)

= x^2 - x +2x - 3

= x^2 + x - 3

Given a leading coefficient of 4, we will multiply the quadratic expression by 4. It becomes

4(x^2 + x - 3)

= 4x^2 + 4x - 12

Suppose that, on a 3,000-mile New York to Los Angeles flight, United Continental, American, and Southwest flew a total of 270 em
allsm [11]

Answer:

The number of empty seats each of these three airlines carried on its flight are as follows:

United Continental = 150 empty seats

American = 50 empty seats

Southwest = 70 empty seats

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf for the complete question.

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

Let U, A and W represents number of empty seats of United Continental, American, and Southwest respectively. Therefore, we have:

U + A + W = 270 ………………………. (1)

Since United Continental had three times as many empty seats as American, this implies that:

U = 3A ………………………………… (2)

Substituting U = 3A into equation (1), we have:

3A +A + W = 270

4A + W = 270

W = 270 - 4A ………………………….. (3)

For the cost, we have:

3,000[((14.90 / 100) * 3A) + (14.60A / 100) + (12.40W / 100)] = $114,990

((14.90 / 100) * 3A) + (14.60A / 100) + (12.40W / 100) = $114,990 / 3,000

((14.90 / 100) * 3A) + (14.60A / 100) + (12.40W / 100) = 38.33

0.447A + 0.146A + 0124W = 38.33

0.593A + 0.124W = 38.33 ………………… (4)

Substituting W = 270 - 4A from equation (3) into (4) and solve for A, we have:

0.593A + 0.124(270 - 4A) = 38.33

0.593A + 33.48 - 0.496A = 38.33

0.593A - 0.496A = 38.33 - 33.48

0.097A = 4.84

A = 4.84 / 0.097

A = 49.8969072164948

Rounding to a whole number, we have:

A = 50

Substituting A = 50 into each of equations (2) and (3), we have:

U = 3 * 50 = 150

W = 270 - (4 * 50) = 70

Therefore, the number of empty seats each of these three airlines carried on its flight are as follows:

United Continental = 150 empty seats

American = 50 empty seats

Southwest = 70 empty seats

The Mississippi River is about 4,000 kilometers long. An M&amp;M is about 1 centimeter long. There are 100 centimeters in a mete
harkovskaia [24]
To be able to determine the number of M&Ms that are needed in order to measure the length of Mississippi River, we convert the units to a common one. For this purpose, we convert kilometers to centimeter such that,
 
Length of Mississippi River = (4000 km)(1000 m/1 km)(100 cm/1 m)
                       = 400,000,000 cm

Since there are 400,000,000 cm in the entire length of the river, the answer would also be 400,000,000.

Which equation can be used to solve for b?
Tanya [424]

Answer:

The first one

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the tangent ratio in the right triangle

tan30° = \frac{opposite}{adjacent} = \frac{AC}{BC} = \frac{b}{8}

Multiply both sides by 8

8 × tan30° = b, that is

b = 8tan30°
